Introductory Pistol Training

Basic Pistol Training — for first-time firearm owners and those new to defensive shooting.

Our Introductory Course is $175 per person and runs 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Homestead Training Center. It is built for people with no experience at all — the class begins with safety and how a firearm works with no live ammunition present, then fundamentals, then supervised live fire. You do not need to own a firearm.

Basic Pistol Training

Our Intro class is a great introductory Firearm Safety Course for those that are new to firearms ownership, or are considering this as a home defense or personal protection option. No formal firearms training required. This course is perfect for first time gun owners, to educate yourself before making a very serious decision about firearms.

Integrating a firearm into your overall personal protection plan is a huge responsibility, and requires proper training and practice. You will learn gun safety, shooting fundamentals, muzzle discipline, trigger control, sight picture, sight alignment, target acquisition, drawing from concealment, and shoot at an outdoor tactical range at multiple targets and distances.

You must pass this class in order to proceed to our Intermediate course.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any experience?
None. The course assumes zero prior knowledge and no live ammunition is present until the second half of the class.
Do I need to own a firearm?
No. Tell us when you register that you do not own one and we will arrange what you will use for the session.
Does shooting hurt?
No. Recoil from a standard handgun is a firm push rather than pain. Most first-time shooters are surprised by how manageable it is.
